Eric Dier raves about Tottenham Hotspur defender Joe Rodon

Eric Dier has showered praise on Tottenham Hotspur defender Joe Rodon, saying the Welshman has impressed him a lot in training.

Spurs signed Rodon during the summer transfer window for a reported fee of £11m from Swansea City.

The 23-year-old centre-back – who has 10 caps for Wales already – has managed just two substitute appearances in the Premier League thus far. However, he could feature prominently for a while now with Toby Alderweireld facing spells on the sidelines.

The Belgian defender suffered a groin injury during Tottenham’s 2-0 win against Manchester City on Sunday, and Rodon replaced him.
